Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

In Texas, Something Seismic Is Happening—and It’s All Trump’s Fault
Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.

Today’s Jack Smith hearing should be treated by the press as a civics lesson rather than a spectacle. “As I appear before you today, it is my belief that the rule of law faces challenges unlike any we have experienced in our lifetime.” His opening remarks: www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

As Jack Smith Testifies, a Senator’s Accusation of Perjury Falters

A Republican eager to prove the former special counsel was dishonest appeared to instead demonstrate his own confusion over basic facts.

There was no “retreat.” Christian nationalists have spent decades trying to take over Hollywood, media, universities and public education. They didn’t voluntarily surrender that ground. Their attempts to impose a “biblical” worldview have been rejected.

yesterday, the the major networks served up to Dear Leader a huge slice of Fuck You Pie, and boycotted all White House press events — leaving bottom-feeders like Newsmax to air amateurish silent videos. thank you for your attention to my coverage of this hilarious shit. link is here: bit.ly/4hkOvzV
holy shit.

yesterday, we finally got the answer to that age-old conundrum: if Dear Leader opens his fat yap in the middle of the White House, and there’s no one from the press pool around to report on it, does he make a noise?

the answer, it seems, is a resounding no.
